SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

CAUTIONObtain radio anti-theft code before disconnecting battery.

Note. Engine management is controlled by an Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles with Manual Transaxle (M/T) or by a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles with Automatic Transaxle (A/T). ECM/PCM diagnostic memory is retained by direct power supply from battery. Memory is not erased by turning off ignition, but it will be erased if battery or ECM/PCM is disconnected.

ECM/PCM includes On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) software designed to monitor emissions control system over the life of the vehicle. On OBD-II equipped vehicles, the MIL will illuminate only for emissions system related faults. Most of these faults will not cause driveability problems and would go unnoticed by the driver were it not for the MIL. When MIL illuminates, a DTC will be stored. The ECM/PCM may also store DTCs that do not illuminate the MIL. These may be DTCs for faults that no longer exist, provisional codes or for faults that are not emission systems related. DTCs may be retrieved using the manufacturer's MUT-II Scan Tool (MB991502) or a compatible generic scan tool. See ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

ECM/PCM monitors several different engine control system circuits. If an abnormal input signal occurs, the ECM/PCM will store it in memory as either a provisional code or DTC. A specific DTC indicates a particular system failure, but does not indicate the cause of failure is necessarily within that system. Most faults require that the malfunction be detected during 2 different drive cycles before the MIL is illuminated. On DTCs that use 2 drive cycles, the first occurrence of the fault will store a provisional code. The second occurrence of the fault will set a DTC and illuminate the MIL.

For certain system or component failures, ECM/PCM will enter fail-safe function (limp home mode). In fail-safe mode, ECM/PCM will substitute default values for the faulty component or system.

Each circuit or system monitored by ECM/PCM has particular engine and driving conditions that must be met before ECM/PCM will monitor it. These conditions are the code set criteria. Due to differences in code set criteria, some circuits or systems are monitored almost continuously while others may not be monitored at all during a particular drive cycle. After a repair, it is necessary to run the vehicle under conditions that meet code set criteria in order to verify the repair. This is best done by following the drive cycle related to the DTC. To verify a misfire or fuel trim repair, it is also necessary to operate the vehicle in conditions similar (engine speed, engine load, engine temperature, etc.) to those when the misfire occurred. These conditions are recorded as freeze frame data. Check freeze frame data before erasing DTCs, as freeze frame data will also be erased.

Readiness Test Status

During different parameters of engine operation, the ECM/PCM monitors and runs tests on various inputs, outputs and system functions. There are 6 monitors. One monitor (Other Monitor) passively monitors for shorts, grounds and out of range parameters. It runs continuously. The other 5 monitors actively test different systems and will only run when very specific engine operating conditions have been met. Those monitors may or may not run during any given drive cycle. These 5 monitors have a system readiness test to show whether the particular monitor has been run or not. For additional information on drive cycles, see VERIFYING REPAIRS . A system related Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) cannot set until it's monitor has run successfully and readiness test status indicates COMPLETE.

When DTCs are cleared, each readiness test status is set to INCOMPLETE or NOT READY. To complete readiness test status, OBD-II drive cycles related to all on-board diagnostic items should be carried out. See OBD-II DRIVE CYCLES . If vehicle is normal, readiness test status will complete by carrying out OBD-II drive cycle once. MUT-II scan tool will then read COMPLETE. Generic scan tool will read READY. If ECM/PCM detects a malfunction, OBD-II drive cycle must be carried out again before readiness test status will complete. Once readiness test status is complete, ECM/PCM can be checked for DTCs.

VISUAL INSPECTION

Most driveability problems in the engine control system result from faulty wiring, poor electrical connections or leaking air and vacuum hose connections. To avoid unnecessary component testing, perform a visual inspection before beginning self-diagnostic tests.

ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

Note. DO NOT skip any steps in self-diagnostic tests or incorrect diagnosis may result. Ensure self-diagnostic test applies to vehicle being tested.

Using Scan Tool

  1. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's operation manual for instructions. Before entering on-board diagnostics, see «SERVICE PRECAUTIONS»(ref-152075-S29483572062003011300000) . Locate Data Link Connector (DLC) under instrument panel, near steering column.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Connect scan tool to DLC. Turn ignition on. Read and record scan tool self-diagnostic output. Proceed to «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-152075-S09950415582003011300000) . If scan tool will not communicate with ECM/PCM, diagnose communication concern. See «SCAN TOOL WILL NOT COMMUNICATE»(ref-152075-S13249849662003011300000) . Turn ignition switch to LOCK position before disconnecting scan tool.

Intermittent Diagnostic Trouble Codes

If DTC was set and DTC diagnostic procedure does not locate fault, problem is intermittent. Most intermittent malfunctions occur from vibration, temperature change, moisture change and poor connections. Try to determine under what specific conditions problem occurs. Try to duplicate those conditions while monitoring circuit suspected of being faulty with data recorder function of scan tool. The following additional checks may assist in identifying a possible intermittent problem

  1. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs).
  2. Visually inspect related wiring connectors for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
  3. Visually inspect related wiring for chafed, pierced or partially broken wires.
  4. Wiggle suspected wire(s) or vibrate suspected component.
  5. Apply heat and/or humidity to suspected component.

Provisional DTC

Provisional DTCs are set only during a single drive cycle. ECM (M/T) or PCM (A/T) will detect some malfunctions and set DTCs in memory but may not turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). Provisional DTCs do not necessarily indicate a failure of a component or system. If a component or system fails for 2 drive cycles, a hard fault will be stored. See HARD FAILURES under ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. For additional information on provisional DTCs, see VERIFYING REPAIRS .

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

CAUTIONAll data will be lost when DTCs are cleared. Record data that may be needed later, such as freeze frame data, before erasing DTCs.

Note. Obtain radio anti-theft code before disconnecting battery. When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle.

To clear DTCs using a scan tool, refer to scan tool owner's manual. Ensure DTCs do not reset. Start and warm up engine. Operate vehicle through appropriate drive cycle(s). See VERIFYING REPAIRS . Check for DTCs to confirm repair.

Note. A drive cycle is when engine goes from start to stop and component is monitored in-between. The component's code set criteria must be met while the engine is operating before it will be monitored. Due to this, component may not be monitored every engine start-to-stop cycle.

If DTC was set and DTC diagnostic procedure does not locate fault, problem is intermittent. Most intermittent malfunctions occur from vibration, temperature change, moisture change and poor connections. Try to determine under what specific conditions problem occurs. Try to duplicate those conditions while monitoring circuit suspected of being faulty with data recorder function of scan tool. The following additional checks may assist in identifying a possible intermittent problem

  1. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs).
  2. Visually inspect related wiring connectors for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
  3. Visually inspect related wiring for chafed, pierced or partially broken wires.
  4. Wiggle suspected wire(s) or vibrate suspected component.
  5. Apply heat and/or humidity to suspected component.

Refer to «HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR MONITOR»(ref-152075-S31732035972003011300000) and «OTHER MONITOR»(ref-152075-S37595059962003011300000) under VERIFYING REPAIRS. Check for DTCs. If DTC P0132 is output, repeat diagnosis. If DTC P0132 is not output, inspection is complete.

Check conditions are when engine coolant temperature is greater than 122°F (50°C), engine speed is 1200-3000 RPM, volumetric efficiency is 20-60 percent, vehicle is under closed loop air/fuel control, the throttle valve is open, short-term fuel trim is more than -25 and less than 25 percent and more than 2 seconds have elapsed after the above mentioned conditions have been met. Monitoring time is 10 seconds by 5 times. Judgment criteria is when the heated oxygen sensor (front) sends "lean" and "rich" signals alternately 10 times or less for 10 seconds.

If the sensor switch time is longer than the judgment criteria due to the MUT-II OBD-II test Mode - H02S Test Results, it is assumed that the heated oxygen sensor has deteriorated. If it is short, it is assumed that the harness is damaged or has a short circuit. If the heated oxygen sensor signal voltage has not changed even once (lean/rich) after the DTC was erased, the sensor switch time will display as zero seconds.

The most likely causes for this DTC to be set are

  1. Heated oxygen sensor (front) deteriorated.
  2. ECM (M/T) or PCM (A/T) failed.
CAUTIONTo prevent damage to scan tool, always turn ignition switch to LOCK position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool.
  1. Using scan tool, check heated oxygen sensor (front). Connect scan tool to data link connector. Start and operate engine at idle. Set scan tool to the data reading mode for data list item 11: HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (FRONT). Warm engine to operating temperature. With engine at 2500 RPM, output voltage should alternate between zero volt and 0.6-1.0 volt. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. If sensor is not operating properly, replace heated oxygen sensor (front). After replacing sensor, go to next step. If sensor is operating properly, malfunction is intermittent. See «INTERMITTENT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-152075-S03521432692003011300000) .
  2. Test the OBD-II drive cycle. Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. See «OTHER MONITOR»(ref-152075-S37595059962003011300000) under VERIFYING REPAIRS. Check for DTCs. If DTC P0133 is output, repeat diagnosis. If DTC P0133 is not output, inspection is complete.

Check conditions are when 30 seconds or more have passed since the starting sequence was completed, engine coolant temperature is more than 169°F (76°C), engine speed is at more than 1200 RPM, volumetric efficiency is more than 30 percent, and throttle position sensor output voltage is less than 3.6 volts. Check conditions are not met when fuel is being shut off. Monitoring time is 30 seconds. Judgment criteria is when heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage does not get across 0.5 volt within about 30 seconds.

The most likely causes for this DTC to be set are

  1. ECM (M/T) or PCM (A/T) failed.
  2. Heated oxygen sensor (front) deteriorated.
  3. Open circuit in heated oxygen sensor (front) output line.
  4. Open circuit in heated oxygen sensor (front) ground line.
  5. Heated oxygen sensor (rear) deteriorated.

When the heated oxygen sensor (front) begins to deteriorate, the heated oxygen sensor output voltage will deviate from the voltage when the sensor was new (normally 0.5 volt at stoichiometric ratio). This deviation will be corrected by the heated oxygen sensor (rear). If the heated oxygen sensor (rear) responds poorly because it has deteriorated, it will improperly correct the heated oxygen sensor (front). Thus, even when closed loop control is being effected, the fluctuation of the heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage decreases, without intersecting with 0.5 volt. As a result, there is a possibility of DTC P0134 becoming registered.

CAUTIONTo prevent damage to scan tool, always turn ignition switch to LOCK position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool.
  1. Using scan tool, check heated oxygen sensor (rear). Connect scan tool to data link connector. Start the engine and run at idle. Set scan tool to the data reading mode for data list item 59: HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (REAR). Warm engine to operating temperature. When the engine is revved, the output voltage should be 0.6 to 1.0 volt. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. If the sensor is operating properly, go to next step. If the sensor is not operating properly, refer to «DTC P0137: HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE (SENSOR 2)»(ref-152075-S00078317202003011300000), «DTC P0138: HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE (SENSOR 2)»(ref-152075-S21848652232003011300000) and «DTC P0139: HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (SENSOR 2)»(ref-152075-S35773550192003011300000).
